This is why the clock is ticking on fossil fuels, not because of "woke". The numbers just make sense to reduce costs and increase sovereignty. Many countries are figuring this out. Smith is dooming #Alberta to be a dinosaur left behind in the new energy revolution

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”
Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World
Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

Signed.

Hope my fellow #Canadians will do so as well - keep foreign (ahem U.S. especially) owned media from impacting our understanding of the world around us.

✅Emergency funding for infrastructure repairs
✅Support for evacuees
✅Resources to assess and repair 800+ damaged homes
✅Long-term investment in climate-resilient power systems

Carney on Canada becoming a leader in green technology: "You just have to look at where China and others are going. We have an enormous opportunity in this country to leapfrog the United States. The United States has taken its eye off the ball on this."

This explains like 90% of American politics right now
If this analysis is correct, then the situation is actually much more bleak than Savage’s argument would suggest. If diversification efforts generated a huge change, then the backlash to it might be acceptable, something worth risking and weathering if it comes. Instead, what appears to have happened is a lot of empty talk, no real significant change, and backlash that is causing real harm. This is the worst of all possible worlds.

ONE MORE UPDATE BECAUSE THIS GOT MORE DERANGED:

1. Editing other people’s videos is a planned future feature, so those aren’t safe either

2. Musk advertised the feature by RTing some White Birthrate shit with a video of GenAIing young kids for a couple with goofy music

Canadians, sign this petition to stop the use of the Notwithstanding clause against trans Canadians.

This is about provinces denying human rights, because trans rights are human rights.

Because that's working so well in places like the US, ugh 🙄...Looks to me like western democracies are becoming victims of their own success: people have been fairly comfortable for so long they think governments don't need to do anything to make that happen, like it'll magically happen on its own😖

Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

Short story: for about a week, my feed was pretty random with stuff I don't care for. Then I realized I had jumped to the "Discover" instead of the "Following" feed and what a difference, the feed is so much better when you follow lots of folks you like😅

Oil&gas jobs are not tied to increases in oil&gas production.
As of 2024, direct Fossil Fuel jobs accounted for under 1% of total employment in Canada.
Sharp decline in FF employment occurred at the same time as major increases in total oil&gas output.
